Running psexec.exe from autoit

[snakebyte73]

Hi

I am trying to run psexec from my autoit script.

i have copyed in the relevant parts of my script below.

$SCCMWrapper = "C:\ud-sys\tools\PsExec.exe ""c:\Windows\System32\PackageWrapper.exe"" -i -s" ;doesn't work

; $SCCMWrapper = "C:\ud-sys\tools\PsExec.exe ""c:\Windows\System32\PackageWrapper.exe""" ;Works

RunAs( $UserName, @LogonDomain, $PassWord, 4, $SCCMWrapper, "", @SW_SHOW )

$Title = "Package Wrapper (v2.0.2.0)"

$Text = "Enter path for the folder containing the package you want to excute"

WinWait( $Title, $Text )

WinActivate( $Title, "" )

ControlSetText( $Title, $Text, "WindowsForms10.EDIT.app.0.33c0d9d1", @ScriptDir )

ControlClick( $Title, $Text, "WindowsForms10.BUTTON.app.0.33c0d9d3" )

When i run the first $SCCMWrapper i can't get psexec to start. When i then remove the two last parameters (-i -s ) it starts the psexec ok, but i need to start it with the two parameters

Does anyone know how i can do this ??

The problem does not appear to be autoIt related though I could be wrong. All Autoit is doing is starting psexec.exe and giving it those command line parameters. It is up to psexec to process the commandline. I would suggest seeing if re-arranging the different things (such as -s, -i) does anything, and consulting the programs documentation.

Try: $SCCMWrapper = 'C:ud-systoolsPsExec.exe "C:\Windows\System32\PackageWrapper.exe -i -s"'

no need of using double quotes

Run('PsExec.exe -d -i -s notepad.exe',@SystemDir,@SW_HIDE)

Actually, if a space existed within the path 'C:\Windows\System32\PackageWrapper.exe' PsExec needs to see it wrapped in quotes. So the path provided should work without quotes. However, after testing

"C:ud-systoolsPsExec.exe ""C:\Windows\System32\PackageWrapper.exe"" -i -s"

works fine on my machine (Win7 64bit) whether a space is added to the path or not.

It's still be simpler to use single quotes for the AutoIt string than double quotes because they force the double quotes to be treated as strings by AutoIt. The simplest way that should work and still contain the quotes is:

$SCCMWrapper = 'C:ud-systoolsPsExec.exe "C:\Windows\System32\PackageWrapper.exe" -i -s'

Edit: unreadable english...

BTW i would be co0l if u would be able to execute it from the Binary data of the executable right through the Script

If interested search for 'RunBinary' by trancexx

Hi Guys

thanks for the replies.

i have tried your suggestions and i have found out that it is the -s option that gives me trouble.

I need to run psexec with this option as this will start my wrapper in system context.

my problem is that when it does this, i can't get autoit to input text to the wrapper.

I have tried with both the controlsettext and send without luck. (se my code at the top)

it works fine if i don't run the wrapper in the system account.
